Blog Hop - Julie Nutting Doll Stamps

This is my very first blog hop which was organized by Scrapbook Cafe Online.  The task - to use any of the Julie Nutting Doll Stamps.  I love these stamps and have several of them.  For this task I chose the Chiara.

Since I love scrapping for my Disney trips I chose to make an embellishment for a future Disney page.  I selected to use several patterned papers from the Simple Stories Say Cheese 6 x 6 paper pad to accessorize my stamp.

Other tools I used included my Stampin' Up Basic Black ink, and My Close to My Heart Basic Colors Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen.

I started by stamping the image on a plain white cardstock from my stash. 

After stamping the image I colored the doll skin with the CTMH Sorbet pencil and the hair with the CTMH Sunflower pencil.  I used the blender pen to soften the coloring.

I then stamped the dress portion of the stamp on the red dot paper and the sash portion on to the the black striped paper (both papers from the Say Cheese paper pad).

A lot of fussy cutting followed as I cut around all of the small scallops of all the stamped images. 

When the cutting was done, it was time to glue everything together.  I used a Co-ordinations brown card stock as the base and selected a "Magic" sheet as the background to my image. 

The final touches were using Christmas Red Stickles on the head band and Silver Stickles to highlight the dots on "Magic".

The final product:
